The Universal Embedded Operating System

Future options for Crush

Status

So far, pdebuild-cross provides a base for the cross-builds and certain packages have been prepared
as Emdebian Crush packages. However, some of the same issues that hindered Crush 1.0 have re-appeared -
packages that used to cross build successfully have added features to the native builds which now block
cross-building and fixing these issues will take time.

Whether the experiments with Crush 2.0 actually lead to a release is uncertain at this time.

The range of packages currently being prepared for Crush are listed
in the subversion repository
and include, busybox, cairo, curl, debconf, dpkg, gconf, gnome-vfs, gnupg,
hal, libidl, openssh, sysvinit, udev and xorg-server. These packages were
chosen because the functionality of the package needs to be changed, not
because the packages are themselves important or "core"
to Emdebian Crush.

See the EmdebianCodeAudit
for more information on the functionality changes being tested.
